# About me

I enjoy creating quirky, weird and offbeat sculptures and illustrations and I find myself heavily influenced by woodlore, folk, prehistoric, petroglyph, Pre-Columbian, Native American and South Pacific artforms. I also have an unhealthy obsession with geometric shapes, spirals and mandelbrot sets and it has been suggested on more than one occasion that I occupy the pastel end of the autistic spectrum and seeing as I teach and provide support to autistic individuals and really get what they're about, it's probably an accurate observation ;-).
